Grieving relatives of Afghan civilian victims demand accountability, as well as financial compensation for their losses and relocation.
A day after the United States military admitted that a drone attack in Afghanistan’s capital last month mistakenly killed 10 members of a family, including seven children, survivors have said Washington’s apology was not enough.
Emal Ahmadi, whose three-year-old daughter Malika was killed on August 29, when the US hellfire missile struck his elder brother’s car, told The Associated Press news agency on Saturday that the family demands Washington investigate who fired the drone and punish the military personnel responsible for the strike in Kabul.
“That is not enough for us to say sorry,” said Ahmadi. “The US should find the person who did this.”
